Sri Lanka guide

Sri Lanka is an island nation in the Indian Ocean off the southeastern tip of India, to which it is linked by a chain of coral reefs called Adam's Bridge. The island was formerly known as Ceylon.

The island that has attracted travelers for centuries

Travelers have been drawn here for centuries. Marco Polo described it as the most beautiful island of this size in the world. The bold statement of this traveler is true. For its small size, the island has an incredible amount of points of interest. The natural beauty of this evergreen island is very diverse thanks to its favorable climate, and Sri Lanka is home to unique plant and animal species. The landscape shifts from coastal sandy beaches, which are the most beautiful in the south of the island, through palm groves, tea and rice fields to rainforests. The sea is just as rich, especially the coral reefs are full of colorful life. Just like nature, the artistic and architectural monuments on this island also amaze visitors. In the cities, these are buildings dating back to the colonial era. Sacred temples, shrines, and pilgrimage sites of the Hindu and Buddhist religions are scattered across the island.
